I've come over from Unity3D to check out GoDot, and I'd like to better understand how arrays work.
I prefer to tightly write my code, so I've been declaring variables explicitly stating the type...

var x:int = 5

I believe I can create an array with the following line...

var bindings:Array

But how do I declare what type of data the array will hold?
One GoDot tutorial example has this...

var array1 = ["One", 2]

Am I to understand that a single array in GDScript can hold a different data type in each array element?

Thank you.

You can create a typed Array with

var typed_array : Array[Type]

DaveTheCoder

var typed_array : Array[Type]

That feature (typed arrays) is new to Godot 4, which is in beta testing. It's not available in Godot 3.

Am I to understand that a single array in GDScript can hold a different data type in each array element?

Yes.
